Idealizing Men and Women, by Al Parker for the Famous Artists School, mid 1950s.
The original courses offered in 1948 were Painting, Illustration/Design and Cartooning. The Painting and Illustration & Design courses, which are still offered, consisted of 24 lessons, with a new lesson mailed to the student upon completion of the previous lesson. When a student completed and returned the assignment, it was critiqued by a professional artist who sent suggestions back to the student. The original 1948 price for the three-year course was $200, payable in monthly installments, and veterans could use the GI Bill. By the 1950s the price was $300 (about $3000 in 2017 money), plus an estimated $11.55 for basic oil painting supplies.
